Kirby created numerous characters for DC Comics after leaving Marvel in the late 60s, including the New Gods, who have become central to DC's mythology, especially the villainous Darkseid.

Titles and creative teams for the one-shots have not yet been announced, but are expected to be released in DC's August solicitations.
